In my interpretation of the portrait, I believe that the puffed sections are attached to the bodice and the rose embroidered sleeves are detachable. But others have interpreted the what I believe is a partlet and sleeves to be a shirt. There is a dress diary online somewhere that recreates the outfit in the portrait to her own interpretation. If I have time I will see if I can't locate it again.
De -----Original Message----- In this one: http://www.tudor-portraits.com/HelenaSnakeborg.jpg Are the bands on the shoulder and the sleeve attached or is the sleeve one that comes off (Attached by ribbons or hooks?) I love those shoulder puffed bands. I have the directions on how to make them. I just wanted to know if the sleeves detach or not. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
